🚀 Overview

Teaching computers to understand the world in real time.

This project implements YOLOv8 Object Detection using the Ultralytics Framework.

The application detects multiple objects simultaneously from:

✨ Images
🎥 Videos
📹 Live Webcam

Every detected object is displayed with

• 🎯 Bounding Box
• 📌 Class Label
• 📈 Confidence Score

making real-time computer vision simple and powerful.
